Day of the Month Card Club - Read A Book Day

Hi Everyone,



This month we are celebration "Read A Book Day". Actually that day should be every day....
 For more detail on this day go visit our challenge blog.


We also have a Guest Designer with us - Daniela, who was voted winner in challenge #5. Her delightful blog is called Stempelschublade. I also love her sense of humor and she makes really fabulous cards. If you don't know her blog you might want to pay it a visit. It will not disappoint, I promise!

Here is my card:

While I really do love to read I don't have a lot of book stamps....but as you see, you don't need one. I took an advertisement from the New York Times and added some Cats on Appletrees stamps. I colored the shirts of the people with Prismacolor pencils and die cut the READ on card stock and doubled it up a bit to make it stand out a bit more.

Now I hope you will have time to 



I am counting on you! You have until the end of the month (9/30) to do so.

This is a voting challenge - the winner will be determined by vote. Everybody can vote, even if you didn't play along. Voting starts on the first of the following month - June first. 
The 3 participants with the most votes will win. 
The winners will be showcased on the 5th of each month and the new challenge will start each month on the seventh.
And to make it more fun and appealing it would be great if you could comment on at least 3 other participants - perhaps you'll find some new friends that way. 


There is always a reason to celebrate!

Good grief...a magazine page...does your imagination have no bounds. Of course, not...silly me. This card is just plain genius. Love the critters amongst all those cleverly colored scholars. Just brilliant!

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers
